They are long

On: How Europe Will Lower Emissions — Self Driving Cars

My only concern is that they are so long.

If there was a passing lane that ended in one kilometer and you tried to pass the road train and ran out of passing lane, you'd be pretty screwed.

HTTP

I don't know about that one, how much do you really need to know?

XML

There is next to no XML in anything I've ever written, most communication between services is done in JSON - I doubt there would be much XML in Wave either.

SQL

If you've got a good ORM back-end, there shouldn't be any need to hand-code SQL for most server-side applications.

That whittles it down to four, and I think it's a small price to pay for the advantages of web-based applications (on which I need not expand).

Also, server-side JavaScript is really coming along and will knock out the requirement for one of those skills.

Linux version not far away

mmoss: release channel setup, first official build

This article is rubbish...

On: Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests

We tested the version of Firefox (called Minefield) that does include the V8 code and listed those results below our "official" findings.

No version of Firefox includes "V8 code" - the engine is called Tracemonkey, or at least that's the name of the significant improvement over the last engine in Firefox.

Based purely on this example of the writer's ignorance, I would ignore this article.

ASUS Eee PC

On: OEMs Looking to Ubuntu for Netbook Market

Actually, if you read the latest Distrowatch Weekly, they say that Linux on the Eee PC is almost a thing of the past.
